About the event:
Gay Street United Methodist Church will host the Kenyon College Chamber Singers on their 2026 Spring Tour.
The Chamber Singers will again present an eclectic mix of a cappella choral repertoire on their
2026 Spring Tour. A centerpiece to the program will be a double-choir setting of Psalm 100 by Johann
Pachelbel. Another highlight of the program is a performance of O Nata Lux, composed as part of a larger
work, Lux Aeterna, by American composer Morten Lauridsen. The ensemble is noted for its regular
inclusion of music from South Africa, which this year includes Shilohini, a Tsonga folksong with a
bittersweet backstory from the World War II era. Additional composers represented on the program are
Johannes Brahms, Jan Sweelinck, Antonio Lotti, Adolphus Hailstork, Moses Hogan, and many others.
